Abstract
Gaegurin 4 is an antimicrobial peptide found in the skin of a Korean frog, Rana rugosa, known for its "wound-healing" effect for years. This 37-residue basic peptide binds to cell membranes and forms ion channels like other antimicrobial peptides but does not exhibit hemolytic activity.(omitted)
